Quilters have a special way among friends. Come along and within this project find out what quilting means to these Irish quilters. An original quilt, the Give Tanks by Nancy Halverson of Art to Heart books inspired this creative group to symbolise patchwork, quilting and friendship in a quilted creation of their own. Easy piecing and fun appliqué is all that is required for this quilt.
